Ps 42:7-8
Deep calls to deep
in the roar of your waterfalls;
all your waves and breakers
have swept over me.
By day the LORD directs his love,
at night his song is with me —
a prayer to the God of my life.
NIV

About Me

Me? Hmmm I am important only in the fact that God was willing to die for me. Without God, there is no value. Not to life and certainly not to death. I am both lifted to heights unimaginable through adoption by the creator of the universe, The King of kings and Lord of lords, God Himself and am humbled by the very simple and unfathomable fact that He loves me.

Why was Sodom and Gomorrah destroyed by God? It is likely not what you
think. It actually has nothing to do with what you have likely been
taught all of your life.

If you are a believer you should allow
the Bible to answer the question you. If you are not, you might still be
interested. The answer is in Ezekiel 16:49. It says "'Now this was the
sin of your sister Sodom: She and her daughters were arrogant, overfed
and unconcerned; they did not help the poor and needy."

Brothers
and Sisters, how do we get so mis-focused? I see so much political
rhetoric from people that claim Christ that dehumanizes the poor and the
aliens that makes me believe we have completely missed the mark.

If
we are to live the life with the focus that God wishes us to have we
will care for those less fortunate. Jesus would call these people "the
least of these" and add that if we do not care for them we will be
unrecognisable as His followers on Judgement day and asked to depart.

We
should be community focused. Our focus needs to be on helping people.
Not judging them. Our focus should be on saving/helping them not
labelling them (homeless, illegals, welfare recipients, etc) so that we
can hate them as a group. Hate is not a Christian quality. And if you
say they do not deserve our concern, consider whether you deserve the
grace you have been given.

And just to set the record straight,
the actual, Biblical definition of a Sodomite is one who is : "arrogant,
overfed and unconcerned...[for] the poor and needy". It has absolutely
nothing to do with sexual preference. I know many "straight" sodomites,
do you?

Sometimes it is just too clear why those that do not believe call us hypocrites....
